Friday Fivin'

Friday, June 24, 2016

Holy cow you guys. I posted five times this week. FIVE. Now don't get your hopes up. This is very rare and will probably not happen again for weeks, even months. Apparently I had a lot to share this week?!

ONE.Star Spangled Kids Link Up.

I'm super excited to be co-hosting this link up next week! The Fourth of July is coming and who doesn't like to be festive, especially with kids?! The basic gist of the link up is to just put your kids in some patriotic gear and snap some photos! It can be swimsuits, outfits, PJs, whatever your heart desires! Then link up with us between July 1st-7th with a blog post or just on social media with #StarSpangledKids. Easy peasy!

TWO.Seat Belt Sign.

I saw this on Facebook on one of the autism pages that I follow and thought it was genius. This is very fitting since Mason has only recently started talking more, but is still pretty non-verbal. In case of emergency, I don't know if he would know what to do or say, and it would be good for medical personnel or whoever to know that there is a reason that he is not talking. His information could be on the back, maybe an emergency contact, and whatever other information could be helpful in case of emergency. I need to get one of these.

THREE.S'mores.

I've recently been on a s'mores kick and I recently discovered these two goodies - a s'mores melting tray and s'mores ice cream. I saw the s'mores tray at Target and thought that was PERFECT. We don't have a fire pit or a gas stove, so getting one of these would be perfect to make s'mores on our BBQ! Then this s'mores ice cream I bought for Father's Day last weekend and it was so, so, so good! If you have a Kroger/Ralph's near you, I highly suggest it!

FOUR.See's Candy.

Speaking of goodies, I got Seth a bag of these scotch mallows for Father's Day and I'm 99% sure that I've eaten more of them than him and by that I mean I've eaten approximately 75% of the bag already. If you've never had them (get one), they are basically a layer of caramel and a layer of marshmallow covered in dark chocolate. Heaven.

FIVE.Starbucks Purple Drink.

I saw this Instagram post yesterday and I think this is a drink I could get behind! I heard everyone talking about Starbucks' #pinkdrink but I'm not sure I like coconut milk enough to get one, but this I think I would like! I might try to get one today, I'll keep you posted!

That seat belt thing is genius! I sometimes worry Noah wouldn't say much in emergency just because he's so shy! At sesame place we'd hear announcements for lost children and it reminded me I should explain what he should do God forbid!

That seatbelt sign is pretty genius! I love that. I love that the s’mores trend is picking up in various different areas. That ice cream sounds amazing. That tray is awesome, too! Those Sees candies look amazing. I love caramel and marshmallow and dark chocolate.

Secondly, I love that idea of having that wallet with Mason's info on his seatbelt. You just never know & if things could be made just a lil easier on him &/or anyone helping out, it's totally worth it.

I think I've seen the seatbelt type thing around...or maybe it was in some other form. Anyways, it is a great idea! Too bad I hate dark chocolate =( because marshmallow and caramel is up my alley. They have a milk version too? Caramel is my love language pretty sure.

Hello and welcome to my blog! I'm Elizabeth. Wife to Seth and mama to Mason. Lover of Starbucks, chocolate anything, and sunshine. Here on my blog, you'll find a little bit of everything as I navigate through motherhood with a son with autism. Pop around, stay awhile. So glad you stopped by!
